Determinación fisicoquímica de los lixiviados para su aprovechamiento en sede Usme de la UAN

Resumen

The untreated residues end up being deposited in a sanitary landfill, and when decomposing over time this generates gases and leachates, thus damaging both the environment and the community’s quality of life surrounding the Landfill; As can be evidenced these residues have a high percentage of organic waste, which could be used as raw material for power generation. The leachates are generated by the decomposition of organic residues and meteorological characteristics such as rainfall, temperature and relative humidity. In addition, its polluting power makes it necessary to characterize them by means of physical and chemical tests in the laboratory (COD, NTK , pH, Alkalinity, Hardness, Conductivity, VFA, Chlorides,% Humidity and Volume), and in this way to make use of the leachate, which for this project is the generation of methane by means of an anaerobic biodigestor, which will be located in the school Of Antonio Nariño University at the Usme headquarters, in a nursery located inside the school premises, under conditions of ambient temperature, and pH generated in each of the stages of anaerobic digestion by the different bacteria, which acted in the process.
